Research

I study the socio-economic and environmental contradictions of capitalism. My current research focuses on global governance institutions, corporate power, foreign direct investments, exploitation of nature in general and conventional energy resources in particular, energy infrastructure, and state-society relations. I also examine the genealogy of global and national economic change, and social and environmental movements in opposition to such change.
